Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing a FinFET device, including providing a substrate; implementing a source/drain doping on the substrate; etching the doped substrate to form a source region and a drain region; forming a fin channel between the source region and the drain region; and forming a gate on the Fin channel. The fin and the gate are formed after the source/drain doping is implemented on the substrate, so that the source/drain doping is done as a doping for a planar device, which ensures the quality of the source/drain coping and improves the property of the FinFET device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for manufacturing a FinFET device, comprising: providing a substrate; implementing a source/drain doping on the substrate; etching the doped substrate to form a source region and a drain region; forming a fin channel between the source region and the drain region; and forming a gate on the Fin channel; wherein the step of forming a fin channel between the source region and the drain region comprises: forming a dielectric layer on the substrate except for the source region and the drain region; planarizing until exposing the source region and the drain region; etching the dielectric layer between the source region and the drain region to form a fin channel region in the dielectric layer; forming a fin channel within the fin channel region; and removing the dielectric layer with some certain thickness and the remaining dielectric layer functions as an isolation structure. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fin channel is formed in the fin channel region by a selectively epitaxial growth. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the source/drain doping on the substrate is implemented by an ion implantation or an epitaxial doping. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the doping concentration for the source and drain regions is larger than 1e20 cm−3.
